JURRIEN TIMBER NEWS

Plays 45 with U21s Timber (knee) played 45 minutes and scored a goal with the U21s Monday, the club announced.

Impact Timber made a huge jump in his recovery Monday, as he took the field in a competitive match for the first time since tearing his ACL in August. However, he was limited, only playing 45 minutes, with the club still being cautious with the defender's return to play. He will now hope to return before the end of the season, looking to get back with the first team after only appearing in the first match of the season before his long tenure on the sidelines.

Impact Timber has been unavailable since tearing his ACL in August last year, but the Netherlands defender has looked good in training, and featuring with the U21 squad is the final step before he can make his long-awaited first-team return.

Impact Timber has been out since the club's first match of the season after he went down due to a torn ACL that would require surgery.

Set for knee surgery Timber will undergo knee surgery after suffering a torn ACL, Arsenal confirmed Wednesday.

Impact This was always thought to be the case for Timber, who will be out six months, at a minimum.

Could face months out with knee injury Timber may be out several months with fears he suffered damage to his meniscus, reports James Benge of CBS Sports.

Impact This is not the news Arsenal were looking for, as Timber got a debut league start in the opener to only go down with a serious injury. The length of his absence is dependent upon the specifics, but at a minimum, it appears Timber will be out months and not weeks. Until Oleksandr Zinchenko is ready to feature, Takehiro Tomiyasu may start at left-back in upcoming matches.

Impact Arteta didn't offer any insight as to the nature of Timber's injury, so fantasy players will likely have to wait for further updates later in the week. Before being taken off the pitch, the central defender managed one tackle and one clearance in 50 minutes of action. Both Gabriel and Takehiro Tomiyasu, who subbed on for Tiimber, could be options for the starting XI if Timber is unable to play versus the Eagles.
